What Is Izocam 3 Inch (89 mm) Glass Wool Prefabricated Pipe?
The Izocam 3 Inch (89 mm) Glass Wool Prefabricated Pipe is a high-performance pipe insulation product designed for industrial and mechanical piping systems. Manufactured from high-density glass wool, it is used to reduce heat loss, prevent condensation and freezing, and provide effective sound and vibration insulation.
Available in unfaced and aluminum foil-faced versions, this product stands out for its long service life and reliable insulation performance.
Applications
According to its technical specifications, the 3 inch (89 mm) prefabricated pipe insulation is suitable for:
- Industrial piping systems
- Radiator and central heating installations
- Solar energy systems
- Pressurized water pipelines
- Hot and cold pipelines exposed to condensation or freezing
- Mechanical installations requiring sound and vibration insulation
Installation Instructions
Select the prefabricated pipe insulation designed for 3 inch (89 mm) diameter pipes. Open the insulation along the factory-cut slit, position it around the pipe, and ensure all joints are tightly sealed without gaps.
For Unfaced Products
The outer surface can be protected using:
- Bitumen emulsion
- Bituminous membrane
- Galvanized metal jacketing
- Aluminum cladding
The protective covering may be secured using adhesive bonding, lock-seaming, riveting, or screws.
For Aluminum Foil-Faced Products
- The self-adhesive overlap flap allows for faster and easier installation.
- Seal all joints with self-adhesive aluminum foil tape at least 75 mm (7.5 cm) wide.
- In double-layer installations, stagger the joints between layers, with the final joint positioned on the underside of the pipe whenever possible.
